About the Chemicals Under Consideration for Effects Screening Levels Development
The public comment period for 2 proposed DSDs has begun!!
How to Submit Technical Data
The Toxicology Division plans to publish a list of chemicals under consideration for ESL development at this Web site at least once a year and encourages interested parties—industry trade associations, individual companies, environmental groups, academia, etc.—to submit relevant technical data. Information will be posted on the Web site and registrants on the Announcement List will be notified by e-mail. Several months before the deadline, the list of chemicals will be provided to interested parties so they will have adequate time to prepare data.
How Chemicals are Selected
Chemicals are selected for one or more of the following reasons:
- they have been detected in air monitoring
- permits are frequently issued for them
- the public has expressed concerns about them
Procedure for Data Submission
The Toxicology Division is not requesting toxicity information at this time.
